Abstract:

Based on the ten year (1985-1996) observational data and the facsimile charts from Chinese Antarctic Great Wall Station. The temperature, humidity fields and precipitation were studied. The result showed that low temperature, high humidity and long precipitation days are the significant characteristics in Great Wall Station area. This weather type was affected mainly by the local pressure fields, the activity of polar cyclones and the sea surface with drifting ice and snow in sub-polar region.
